Vegetated coastal ecosystems (VCEs; ie, mangroves, salt marshes, and seagrasses) play a
critical role in global carbon (C) cycling, storing 10× more C than temperate forests. Methane …

Methane is one of the critical greenhouse gases, which absorb long wavelength radiation,
affects the chemistry of atmosphere and contributes to global climate change. Rice …

Globally, substantial quantities of organic amendments (OAs) such as plant residues (3.8×
10 9 Mg/yr), biosolids (10× 10 7 Mg/yr), and animal manures (7× 10 9 Mg/yr) are produced …

Global atmospheric methane (CH 4) concentrations are now approaching 1800 ppbv as a
result of the growing imbalance between the net CH 4 emissions from natural and …

Besides water vapour, greenhouse gases CO2, CH4, O3 and N2O contribute~ 60%, 20%,
10% and 6% to global warming, respectively; minor contribution is made by …

Background Higher absorption and translocation of sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl) ions in
plant tissue can lead to serious physiological and biochemical changes. However, salicylic …
